>>5802160You summon three water clones to help you move her back to her room. A waste of chakra, but whatever. They take a second since they need to emerge one at a time from your toilet in the adjacent bathroom. Once your group is assembled you each grab a corner of the futon and haul Masami up.
You were hoping she’d just stay asleep, but evidently feeling her entire body lurch around as she rose into the air was a ‘wake-up’ kind of experience. Her head shoots around from clone to clone before finally resting on the nearest one as she makes sustained eye contact with it. It makes sustained eye contact back as you drag her to her bedroom, which would turn out to be a pain in the ass on account of all the boxes and random crap she had lying around. Eventually you gently lay her down on her bed. Your clone is still looking deeply into her eyes, it’s actually starting to piss you off. You grab a spare blanket that’s lying on top of a box nearby and huck it over her head before making your way to the door, shutting off the light as you and your freaky little team file out. You close the door. She doesn’t say a thing.
You and your clones wander down the hall back to your own room. You open it politely so that your clones can enter and then follow them. Each of you takes a spot somewhere in the room and sits down. You take a second to think.
“Which one of you was staring at her like that?” You say.
One of you raises your hand.
“Get back in the toilet, jackass. I’m sick of you.”
He nods solemnly and does as he’s told, dissipating into water as he climbs into your toilet. You feel a small amount of chakra returns when he does so. The three of you who remain just continue sitting there for a long while before you eventually tell the others to return to the drains. You climb into bed and go to sleep. Big day tomorrow.
>Preparation for your first actual mission? You leave at noon so you’ll have time in the morning to get it together.
